ABSTRACT:
A method for interconnecting optical fiber cables and a connector for use in such method. In the method, the spherical lenses normally used to couple the fibers is replaced by a spherical body of smaller diameter and the fibers are brought into contact with such body and fixed in axial position. Thereafter, the body is replaced by the lenses normally used which provides the correct spacing between the latter lenses and the ends of the optical fibers. The connector has housings for the normal lenses part of which is removable for the substitution of the spherical body during adjustment of the positions of the optical fibers.
